This Week the baby is a size of a: It's as long as a carrot, but that's totally nonspecific because carrots are all sorts of different sizes. As of last week he weighed 11 ounces and could be anywhere from 7-10 inches long.
Total weight gain/loss: somewhere around 2 pounds. I'm losing bad weight while gaining baby weight, so don't worry, I'm being healthy!
Maternity clothes? no, but I'm sure they would be a lot more comfortable
Belly button in or out? still in... if it pops out that's going to freak me out
Sleep: i think the only reason i'm not sleeping is because it's spring so the chirping birds wake me up wicked early
Best moment this week: Brian Surprised me this week! I though he was going to be in Texas for a while but now he's in Maine. I'm just happy he can experience the pregnancy, even though I'm sure most of it grosses him out.
Movement: I think my muscles are just twitching and I'm convincing myself it's the baby but I really don't know
Symptoms: my nose is so stuffy and I just found out that a stuffy nose is a symptom because of all of the extra blood and fluid in my body. Weird, huh?
Symptoms I DON'T have: My feet aren't swollen yet (thank God, they're already big enough!) I'm also pumped that I don't have stretch marks!
Food cravings: nothing really, I just want to eat all the time.
Gender: macho man
What I miss: being able to play basketball. I'm too scared to do anything except shoot 3 pointers. I'm all done playing in my Co-Ed league and they've all been really great about understanding why I'm not playing as aggressive anymore and working with me and my pregnancy. I can't wait to play again during the Winter Session.
What I am looking forward to: SUMMER! Obviously for the nice weather, but also for all of the extra time to start working on the mess of a room that will become the nursery.
Weekly Wisdom: Stretch!
Milestones: This week the baby is growing eyebrows and eyelashes. The hair on his head is growing. He also is developing sleeping patterns and pretty soon I should be able to feel when he is awake and when he is sleeping.
To Do List: E V E R Y T H I N G ...
Here is the very first picture of my baby bump. For a long time I was just thinking I was getting fat but then I realized that since the baby is growing he is pushing all of my insides outward and upward. My family has conferred that this is indeed the start of my belly!... And yes, this is one of those awkward-bathroom-mirror pics. I'm not skilled in these so I gave up on trying to get my phone out of the picture. Don't judge me.
